That sucks! Reminding people which religion reigns supreme has been an Oklahoma City tradition since before I was born! Did BancFirst Tower have an awakening, and finally realize that all religions and gods were created out of thin air by primitive, superstitious humans that were high on mushrooms and looking for an explanation to their existence, or is it simply dealing with some seasonal depression and not putting up lights this year?

Fortunately, downtown OKC gumshoe Steve Lackmeyer is on the case. He provided this report to The Oklahoman:

Earlier this week, Marisa and I welcomed Demetrius “Juice” Deason to our Bricktown Digital Media Studio for a super-fun version of The Lost Ogle Show!

Juice is a comedian, businessman, and just happens to be BFF’s with a former Oklahoma City resident named Russell Westbrook. You may have heard of him.

We talked with Juice about the upcoming “Why Not?” Comedy Tour benefit that’s he’s throwing with Jabee at Tower Theatre on January 10th, and a variety of other topics related to comedy, OKC and life. We also managed to sneak in some questions about Russ, and what the former Thunder star is really like when he’s not dunking, shooting or giving dirty looks to the media.

Check out:

You can catch Juice at the Why Not Comedy Show emceed by friend of the podcast, Jabee, this January 10, 2020. You can follow Juice on Instagram here.

As always, you can subscribe to The Lost Ogle Show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, I Heart, Stitcher, etc. Stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.

Earlier this week, some funny little hooligans placed Donald Trump-themed urinal screens (pictured above) in some bathrooms at Will Rogers World Airport. Because we live in a time where even the most harmless and innocuous forms of protest vandalism becomes front page clickbait, The Oklahoman covered the incident.

Via The Oklahoman:

The food truck phenomenon came and went in Oklahoma. It was fun while it lasted, until it became something less than novel and anyone who knew how to make a turkey sandwich and had $30k to buy and outfit a used van came in and flooded the scene. In those humble days of the early 2010’s, it was so exciting to eat Gruyere grilled cheese sandwiches made out of waffles that came from a truck with a rattling, noxious gas generator in the back.

Now we’ve got food halls and too many restaurants to keep up with. However, the city is still stuffed with plucky taco trucks, who were here before the hipster movement came in, and will outlast everyone else. Maybe there is a bad one out there, but I’ve eaten at more than a dozen and haven’t found one. Even though the menus look the same and don’t involve arugula or quinoa, each taco truck is special and unique and worth protecting.

Hence why these villains must be apprehended. From KOCO:

Just as I forecasted, a shockingly low number of Oklahoma City residents went to the polls on Tuesday and voted overwhelmingly in support of the $900-million+ MAPS 4EVER.

Here are the final results from the Oklahoma County Election Board:

Wow. 71% of the vote going “Yes” is a dominant margin and probably explains why David Holt, Steve Lackmeyer and the entire Funk family were spotted skinny dipping in the Bricktown Canal last night with out of state social media influencers, but 40,335 44,439 voters is an embarrassingly low voter turnout. That means only 7% or so of Oklahoma City residents voted in the election. I guess David Holt’s work to increase voter turnout when he served in the State Senate never panned out.

Non Doc – which I think may now be owned by the OKC Chamber of Commerce – completely ignored the low voter turnout angle and triumphantly declared the election a “landslide.”

Earlier this week, Emily Sutton took a break from playing with puppies in fields of bubbly clouds to commemorate her 10-year work anniversary at KFOR Channel 4.

Yes, that’s right. The world’s original Severe Weather Princess has been at Channel 4 for a decade now, and we’ve been there to creepily stalk for every second of it. Naturally, we do this as a service to you – a Lost Ogle reader.

Over the past 10 years, Oklahoma City has literally watched Emily grow in front of its eyes. When she arrived on the scene from small-market purgatory, she was a bubbly, awkward, wide-eyed weather nerd, ready to warm your mornings like a hot cup of cocoa.
